Be a State Officer Candidate!

There are so are so many fun and amazing experiences that await you!

It all starts at SBLC.

You campaign at your campaign booth and meet members for hours.

You give a speech!

And if you are lucky, you get to walk up on stage, light your candle, and recite that oath!

But that’s just the beginning…..Then comes the effort, the diligence, the teamwork, the friendships and the experiences that will last a lifetime.

After your induction, you walk backstage and meet the people you’ll be working with for the next year.

You meet your team! You have no idea what’s about to happen....

You get your State Officer Uniform and a shiny new name badge!

You have your first state officer meeting and you prepare for nationals!

You go to nationals and greet members and run a State Meeting for all of

Oregon FBLA NLC attendees!

You run a National Campaign if that’s what you wish to do!

You sleep when you can….

Even meet some National Officers!

Here you begin to bond with your team. Through tiredness, excitement, disappointment, and nervousness, your team is there for you. You can’t help but love them all.

You take silly selfies....

...Meet cool people

You could even meet the CEO of FBLA, Jean Buckley!

Next you have summer break, but that doesn’t mean you get a break from FBLA. No way!

You have conference calls with the team and a State Officer Retreat.

At your State Officer Retreat you…

Film silly videos...and some more silly videos…

And eat fancy dinners...

And well, you do SOME work…

During the school year, you get to do Chapter Visits!

Next, you prepare for OLI.

In Bend, you arrive two days early to practice for your Workshops you will present.

And then you present!

You bond with the Officers from other CTSOs.

And you fall in love with your teammates all over again.

Then you get to look forward to your Regional Skills Conferences

And then you’re back to where it all started….SBLC!

Your term has ended, and you will NEVER forget the memories, the friendships, and the experiences you’ve just had.

So if you are wondering if you should run for state office, do it! It will change your life in the most wonderful way imaginable.

Thank you again to several of you who have shared feedback on the transitions thus far, as this impacted the current transition.

·There are now two methods to affiliate members in Oregon FBLA: Classic FBLA Membership (traditional $15 individual dues) or the FBLA School Site License Affiliation model (discounted packaged levels).

·“Program Based Affiliation” is now called “FBLA School Site License Affiliation”

·The FBLA adviser and/or chapter officer/members select the most appropriate package for their school’s unique environment and phase of growth.

·100% enrollment of your CTE/Business Education Program is not required of either model to affiliate in FBLA (it is encouraged however!)

·Advisers do not need to seek approval from Oregon FBLA when choosing either membership affiliation model.

·Advisers do need to notify Oregon FBLA which model they are selecting. The default is “FBLA School Site License”. If a chapter is opting for Classic FBLA Membership the online system needs to be set for your chapter on the backend.

·The primary benefit of the FBLA School Site License model is incentive-based discounts ranging from 15-23% and the benefit of being able to more easily qualify for a broader range of financial support for FBLA.

Allprogram benefits outlined in the FBLA Chapter Success Guide are exactly the same and available for either affiliation option selected. No penalties, additional fees, or verification will be required for chapters selecting the Classic FBLA Membership option.

Please don’t hesitate to contact Mike Oechsner at mike@oregonfbla.org if you have questions!

From the Board Room

It has been an exciting year for Oregon FBLA! In August of 2013, the Board of Advisers and the Board of Trustees held a joint strategic planning session. During the session the Boards outlined strategic goals for the 2013 – 2014 fiscal year.

The most important objective identified was to re-brand Oregon FBLA. This process included designing a new logo, promotional materials, development of a new website that is member-focused, and increasing social media used by the organization. We are well on our way to completing this objective.

Another primary focus identified was to increase opportunities for members to engage with business. As a part of the State Business Leadership Conference, members were given the opportunity to participate in as many as six different tours of businesses. This year the options included tours of Adidas, Macy’s, Oregon Convention Center, Pacific Power and Light, Umpqua Bank, and XPlane. We believe these are great opportunities that may help our members choose their future occupation.

In an attempt to increase involvement by schools and encourage more individuals to become FBLA advisers, the Foundation approved substitute teacher reimbursement for some training events.

As a part of the planning session we took an inventory of board member skills and areas of interest. We identified areas where we need to recruit members with specific skill sets to strengthen our board to help lead Oregon FBLA into the future.

On the financial front, Oregon Career Technical Student Organizations (including FBLA) received a grant to help expand programs for our members. Lori Pankratz and Mike Oechsner deserve a lot of credit in helping make this happen. Because of efforts like these and hard work by our chapter advisers, Oregon FBLA was able to increase student membership and move to FIRST IN THE NATION for Business Achievement Awards earned by our members. Great job all of you!

We look forward to our joint planning session in August. Our goal is to continue to improve the experience of our members. If you have items that you would like us to consider please contact us at OregonFBLA.org.

They are partnering with Knowledge@Wharton to host a three-day, intensive training focused on learning about financial literacy and classroom application.

High school educators are invited to apply to this three-day, intensive training. Sessions will focus on strengthening the attendees’ understanding of financial literacy and business while sharing methods that will enable teachers to immediately incorporate these critical lessons into the classroom. At this one-of-a-kind seminar and professional networking opportunity, high school educators will be surrounded by peers who are actively committed to providing students with the tools to make responsible and informed fiscal decisions throughout their lives.

Who:

Wharton professors, PwC executives and industry thought leaders will address topics such as the severe knowledge gap in youth financial literacy and teach valuable skills in leadership, entrepreneurship, and business responsibility.

For:

High school business, finance, math and economics teachers as well as principals, administrators and superintendents, primarily from the Western United States. Given that only 13 states mandate financial literacy, this seminar is offered to educators as a supplement to sate their hunger for credible resources and instruction.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC US), a Delaware limited liability partnership, and Knowledge@Wharton High School (KWHS) share a common vision for improving the financial literacy of today's young people and increasing access to teacher training opportunities. A leading professional services firm, PwC US is committed to leveraging the skills of its more than 39,000 employees to help raise students’ proficiency in math and financial literacy. KWHS, as an initiative of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, leverages its expertise in education and business to promote global financial literacy, entrepreneurship and leadership among high school students and educators.

There are two CTE grants with the potential to support CTSOs in Oregon: CTE Revitalization Grant and CTSO Chapter Grants.

CTE Revitalization Grant. This competitive grant is designed to make a major improvement to CTE at the school, district, or regional level. These are major grant requests by schools that take a considerable amount of time to prepare. The law stipulates that $1 million of the CTE Revitalization fund be awarded to proposals that have a CTSO component. Information about application timeline, process, etc. for this grant are available from the Oregon Department of Education by following this link: www.ode.state.or.us/go/ctegrant. The RFP for this grant was released in late August 2013, with an anticipated proposal due date of October 24, 2013.

CTSO Chapter Grants. These grants are designed to support local CTSO expansion, advancement, and program quality. There is $190,000 available this year to distribute to Oregon CTSOs, and the funds can be used for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from advisor stipends to marketing materials to transportation to uniforms to competitive event resources. These grants will be administered by the Oregon CTE Student Leadership Foundation. The RFP is currently under development and will be released by November 1, 2013. The deadline for proposals will be November 29, 2013.

NEXT STEPS

CTE Revitalization Grant. We encourage you to contact your School/District/Regional CTE coordinator to see if your District has already submitted a notice of intent to apply for this grant. If this has been done, inquire if your CTSO has been included in the request for funds, since there is money specifically set aside for CTSOs as part of the CTE Revitalization Grant. This larger CTE grant is a great opportunity to ensure your CTSO chapter receives funding to support the broader goals of the CTE Revitalization effort your school/district is making—make sure you are included!

CTSO Chapter Grants. The Oregon CTE Student Leadership Foundation Board of Directors met on Friday, September 20, 2013 to develop the guidelines, ideas for the application, and possible criteria for the review process for the Oregon CTSO Chapter Grants program.

The Board is currently completing the application materials and process for CTSO chapters to apply. Application materials will be available by November 1 with a deadline of November 29 for all applications. The Board will schedule time to review all applications in December, with awards being made at the first of the year, 2014.

Application information and forms will be available from each CTSOs website by November 1. We encourage you to take the next month to visit with your administration, fellow CTSO teachers, and CTSO members to consider how your chapter could use additional funding to advance your program.

To recognize their support, Oregon FBLA is thrilled to present a series of Business Spotlights highlighting the work of these businesses and groups. Today's spotlight is on the Corporate Volunteer Council of Greater Portland.

The Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) of the Greater Portland Area is sponsoring the Community Service Event at the State Business Leadership Conference. Katie Paullin is President of the CVC and was gracious enough to sit down with Blue Mountain Region Vice President Rachael Jones for an interview.

RJ: Please describe for our readers what your company does.

Katie Paullin: The Corporate Volunteer Council is a professional development group for individuals in a company relations/engagement capacity for their company. The council is passionately committed to helping its members (companies) respond to community needs through volunteerism.

RJ: What is your personal role in the council?

KP: My role on the CVC is President. The CVC has five executive positions, whose role is to oversee the CVC programming, ensure members' benefits are realized and increase overall CVC membership. My role at my employer, ODS Health, is Marketing Manager. Our corporate giving and employee volunteer programs report through the ODS Marketing department.

RJ: How does your business try to help the community?

KP: The Corporate Volunteer Council is dedicated to helping its members respond to community needs through volunteers. This dedication is demonstrated by:

Serving as a resource for companies expanding or developing volunteer programs

Providing education, training, and networking support for volunteer programs managers

Collaborating with member organization on community activities that meet social needs

Promoting and recognizing volunteering within the business community

RJ: Why did you support Oregon FBLA Students?

KP: CVC would like to foster volunteerism in young people; everyone needs to have strong commitment to their communities. If the youth does not partake in volunteering then it will soon be lost The CVC and FBLA are both taking necessary measures to ensure the youth are volunteering.

Oregon FBLA would like to thanktThe Corporate Volunteer Council of Greater Portland and Katie Paullin for sponsoring the Community Service Project event. Katie would like to wish everyone good luck in their competition!

Mick Hagen, Founder of Zinch, always dreamed of attending college at Princeton University. He was a stellar student, but with average test scores, he wasn’t on their recruitment radar. So he decided to take matters into his own hands. Using his skills, he created a portfolio to highlight his passions, achievements, and activities. His initiative not only landed him an admission letter to Princeton, but also sparked the beginning of Zinch, an online resource for students to create their first online, “professional” profile in a fun, interactive, Facebook-like setting.

Zinch aims to level the playing field by providing all high school students with the leverage they need to thoughtfully engage in the college admissions process.

What is Zinch? Zinch is…

Filled with nearly 900 colleges and universities (all non-profit) actively looking for well-rounded students who are “more than a test score." Zinch partners include Yale, Stanford, Princeton, UCLA, Cal, Rice, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and many more!

This new year we are igniting innovation at FBLA-PBL with our newly developed online forum: The Innovation Center! With a quarter million of the nation's most creative students and advisers, FBLA-PBL has unveiled our new initiative aimed at securing ideas about how to strengthen our association. Through the Innovation Center on FBLA-PBL’s website, our members, advisers, and other stakeholders can have a direct influence on shaping the future of America’s largest and oldest student business organization.

The concept of our Innovation Center is simple. Anyone can create an account, log in, and share their ideas to strengthen FBLA. After users share their ideas, they can be discussed with others who utilize the forum. Members can vote an idea “up” or “down” and the ideas with the most votes bubble to the top of the site for review. I encourage you to visit http://ideas.fbla-pbl.org and submit your ideas—we look forward to seeing them!

Whether it be regarding competitive events, conferences, or general operations your ideas are always welcome. As always, if you have any questions regarding the Innovation Center or any other question please feel free to contact me at fblapres@fbla.org.

Happy New Year - I look forward to seeing your ideas on the Innovation Center and your emails in the weeks and months to come.

Respectfully,

Taylor Sarman

FBLA National President
